Sales Leader Extraordinaire Shares His Journey from Pain and Poverty to Powerful Purpose
Episode 94 is a special one for several reasons, not the least of which is that it’s the first show where the guest made Mike cry! You will be challenged listening to this interview with Mike’s friend, sales executive extraordinaire and leadership guru Jeff Hancher, who shares his personal journey from pain and poverty to powerful purpose. Jeff’s story of resilience and how sales changed the trajectory of his life will remind many listeners of why we got into the sales profession in the first place. And every sales leader will benefit hearing about Jeff’s rise through the ranks and the transformational leadership lessons learned along the way – particularly the critically important ability for leaders to give Firm Feedback in a Fragile World (which also happens to be the title of Jeff’s amazing new book). Be sure to take particular note of the segment (starting at the 17:30 mark) that Mike refers to as the greatest five-minute leadership sermon he’s ever heard as Jeff expands on the book’s promise: “how to build a winning culture with critical conversations.” Lean in as Jeff exhorts listeners on the resulting benefits when leaders properly balance making deep deposits that earn the right to make big withdrawals.
